I want it around 11. Do I just leave it. Or will it just keep going up? Also whenever I add Calcium to my tank, my Alk drops, is that normal?
first why are you adding calcium to your tank when you have a Ca reactor hooked up? and yes it will go up slowly untill you reach your desired level at which point you have to adjust the reactor to maintain and not increase.
